I wrote a few days ago about QuickBooks.  Since then I was surprised to discover that they have a free  product available to small business owners called Online Invoices.

What’s included?

Unlimited Invoicing
Multiple Invoice Templates
Address Book Management
Accept Credit Cards & eChecks*

If you want recurrent invoicing, or you want to create and send estimates, the  cost is only $9.95  per month.

It  seems to me that using this product is a complete no-brainer.  I have many friends and acquaintances who operate small  businesses out of their  homes.    Cash flow  needs to  be a top priority for all of us, and  having  an organized system of invoicing customers (especially those late  in payment) is critical for your success.  I am not an affiliate with Intuit (maybe I should work on that) …….I  am giving this recommendation to  you to help you out!  If you don’t  have the money to invest in  QuickBooks…….start here.

I think I have given up on a normal lifestyle. Working late creating the budget for Food Works for next year.

Every time I use QuickBooks I think of all the things I wish it would do for me. I mean, it is all right there.

For instance, my customer list has gotten enormous. And often times I won’t know what the customer name was listed as before (please realize that I’m sharing Quickbooks with several other programs operated by MWH and I’m not who set up all the customers). I should be able to do a simple search based (sort of like google) so if I put in Women’s Affairs I go straight to that office. As it is now, I don’t know if it is listed as Women’s Affairs, IU office of Women’s Affairs, Indiana University Department of ……well you get my drift. Perhaps this isn’t a problem for others, but I bet it is. Other organizations are larger than ours. This one small improvement would save me a bunch of time.
